KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Cleveland, Ohio, Society Circus.
Ned S. Hastings.    April 12th, 1909
BABY MABEL'S ANIMALS.
Time 12. Little dogs and monkeys. Average animal act.
JOSSELIN TRIO.
2 men, 2 women. Triple trapeze work and aerial posing. Neat, effective and difficult work.
THE LAWRENCES.
Man and woman. 12 min Aerial perch work. Fair.
SIGNOR ARCARIS & WIFE.
Time 12. Impalement act, which means that the man throws knives about the outline of the woman standing with a soft vertical platform for a bed for the knives. Arcaris is good. The act went fairly well.
VAN CLEVE-DENTON & PETE.
Man, woman, and mule. Time 11. Pete is another unrideable mule. The act is very funny and went with much applause. The man is an excellent comedian in black face.
POWER'S ELEPHANTS.
2 elephants. Time 9. The animals are very well trained and seem improved over their past form. They work rapidly and do some good tricks. Well received.
SPISSEL, MEERS & ADOLPH.
3 men. Time 11. Comedy acrobats. After a slow start with some mediocre comedy, the men work up to some excellent tumbling and acrobatics.
MORRIS & MORRIS.
Time 10. 2 men. Rough comedy tumblers. Very good and very funny.
LOUISE STICKNEY.
Time 17. Miss Stckney appears dressed in white, seated in a white driving cart, drawn by a beautiful white horse--a striking picture. She has a very effecting driving novelty act.
FRANK MILLER & DAUGHTER.
Time 12. Excellent  carrying feature. Much applause.
THE FLYING MARTINS.
2 men. Time 12. Fast work on triple trapeze. One of the best I have ever seen. A big hit. Some effective foot and hand holds.
HOWARD'S DOGS & PONIES.
Time 20. Very pretty animals. Clever tricks. A whirlwind and novel finish. Big hit.
SEVEN YIULIANS.
Time 14. A truly wonderful acrobatic and risley troupe. Big hit.

ALBER'S POLAR BEARS.
10 beautiful snow white bears. Inclosed in large iron fence. The animals are cleverly trained and do several amazing stunts. Great novelty here and a sensation for any bill.
